I would prefer that all members go into their profile and add their location and age.

At some point I will be going in and asking each of you to do so in a personal message.

So please, do this one on your own. If you don't at some point I will make you.

The location is more of a want to know kind of thing.

The age I'm finding I would really like to know because with some of out members being teenages we get some post that ask questons that ....show their age. I have nothing against teenages being here, but I would like to know if I'm talking to a 40 yr old or a 14 yr old.I will ask all of you to be careful, but if I know you are 14 I will have a little more patience and will explain things a little more.

Right now this is a firm request, but is is kinda manditory. If you don't add the info I will at some point ask you in a PM.

Greetings, everyone. I'm 21 and am located in Oceanside, California. I'm working on a degree in Computer Science and am a knife enthusiast thanks to two years of sword/weapon instruction under a great teacher. I love knives, swords, and have some natural talent with bullwhips (which can be great fun). I found the site while looking at a youtube video for an Assassin's Creed styled blade.

I'm 14.. LOL. The thing that puts me aside from most teens my age is that I have a fairly good vocabulary and a pretty good understanding of engineering and physics. I want to be a weapons engineer when I leave college, but I don't know any companies that I could apply for...So for now making weapons is a hobby. I recently got the privilege of using a propane blow torch and made a neat little flick knife ^^If I could find any friends that had the same hobbies/ideas as me, that would be AWESOME. As for now, I am an outcast. Edit: I like the edit button. I make a lot of spelling errors lol.

Cool! Another 14 year old that makes weapons All i need for my next creation is some sheet metal... This town ain't big enuff to sell eit.

31 years of age, from Toronto, ON, Canada. I'm not really sure what I expect to find here, but rest assured I find weaponeering intriguing. I usually keep pretty quiet on forums, so if I don't post much, I'm still here, I just may not have anything relevant to add.

I'm 21 from Charlottetown PEI, Canada I grew up in an automotive shop and have a love for metal working. I was raised to like weapons as my father was a competition shooter and my uncle a knife collector as well as a welder/ machinist, some of his stuff still amazes me. Due to my norse heritage I have a love for swords and bows. Im studying art/ Ancient history at university.

Salut!Bonjour à tous!My name is Aaron, from Marseille.Im 16 years old, turning 17 this August.

Right now, I am in the Philippines to graduate college, I am a member of the Hashshashin - Assassins Order, I am a Christian (Protestant Theistic Evolutionist) that fights against the New World Order and Illuminati control.

I have real assassasin blood, but not like in the video game called Assassin Creed, the modern ones using guns, I have Portuguese roots. The de Vacalar Ancestry, the ones known in France as the family of assassins, I am one, I am a Vacalares. They use mixed guns and blades.

I am not raised in a metal shop or steel fabrications like most of you, but I can say I am excellent in GSA (General Scholastic Aptitude) , History, and academic and science stuff, Im more like a noble than a rogue in RPG games, lol.

My hobbies are reading books, playing games, making weapons, and using guns (my grandad was the champion in Marksmanship, with revolvers and pistols, and Im really good using snipers, not blades).. and wall climbing (im the fastest wall climber in our region)

My new hobbies areParkour, xiphoids, free running and stuff.

btwI am a metrosexual, I am allergic to dust and colds, and I have a rapid swinging bipolar disorder. But I have my mood control meds now.

I have Viking ancestry on both sides of the family, so it's only natural that swords, knives, and seaxes attract me . Not really a fan of guns though They can be used in such a cowardly way, no honor involved at all. It disgusts me just a tad bit haha

i'm 16, from new zealand. so most of the weapons i want to make would be illegal. but, i will try, and i guess by law i'll just keep the blade off the mechanism, if that's a loop hole. i will eventually check.

i am looking for a job now so i can afford materials and some better tools.i haven't made weapons before, but i am really interested in these kind of mechanisms and other related things.

i have been looking around the a forums a bit, and come across some pretty cool ideas.i had stumbled across this site while i was planning to make a "xiphoid".

i'm shit at drawing plans, but i use a program called algodoo. it enables 2d construction of something, it isn't too bad, it has rather low amount of limitations to planning, but it would be better if i could actually afford the real materials.

Hello everyone! I actually found this website out after designing my own Assassin's Creed hidden blade, and was immediately put to shame by some of the designs I saw. I'm nineteen years old, and I live in Buffalo, New York (although I'll be in Rochester come fall). I'm brand new to mechanical engineering of any sort; the most experience I've had has been with Bionicle Lego pieces. I am a fast learner though, and maybe my inexperience will allow me to come up with some more creative designs. You never know.I'd like to put a couple of my designs up on here, but I regretfully don't have a drawing program on my computer. I'm currently working off of a netbook, and I don't know if 3d designing programs use much processing power. Any suggestions?I'll be going to college in the fall (hence moving to Rochester), and I'm currently broke, but I hope not to be as soon as possible. I was wondering how expensive a hobby creating these xyphoids and such is.P.S. Sorry if I ask too many questions. I think you'll find I have a lot of them.

Hey AR7894 Welcome to the forums!

Creating xiphoids can be done very cheaply. It's all about finding cheap materials, using things that are lying around, scavenging parts from other things and scrap yards, junk piles, etc.

Perhaps the most expensive is getting the right tools for the job, though pretty much almost everything can be done with just a good drill a good set of bits, and a file.

Hi all , iam a new on this forum and i found it interesting for a hobby i have wich is called Xtreme Xploring. Iam From Croatia Originaly,But in this moment i live in Austria,Wien.Iam 29 years old bussines man.

Scaran, JD, Arestus, Skyler, Welcome to the forums. Please read the rules before you get post happy...

@Arestus, Please resize your sig pic. See the rules for the correct dimensions.

Hey all, already made a few posts but never actually posted here, haha. My name's Dan, I'm 23, and I'm from a little tiny town called Netcong in the state of New Jersey, country of choice is the U S of A. I've always enjoyed weapons, martial arts, and homebuilding random crap. It doesn't always look good, but it always works!

Also known as a Retractable Forearm Dagger, Xiphoid is a class of weapons with a blade that is retractable into a forearm worn wristband/bracer sheath. Designed for swift and quick surprise attacks. It is notable for being evolved from the Katar and the Pata, punching swords with the blade sitting inline with the users fist..

There's two kinds of people in this world when you boil it all down.
You've got your 'talkers' and you've got your 'doers'.
Most people are just talkers, all they got is talk. But when all is said and done, it's the doers who change this world. And when they do that, they change us. And thats why we never forget them...
So which one are you? Do you just talk about it or do you stand up and do something about it? Because believe you me, all the rest of it is just bullshit.
